Solana Beach Real Estate

Solana Beach (Solana means ‘sunny’ in Spanish), which was incorporated in 1986, occupies four square miles by the sea about 25 minutes north of Downtown San Diego. In the 1920s, the area was known for avocado groves and lima bean fields, but it has since evolved into a thriving community. The family friendly town has a mellow vibe and is bisected by the freeway. The portion west of the freeway offers cliff-side homes overlooking the Pacific and beach cottages, while the eastern portion of town features custom and tract homes tucked into the rolling hills bordering Rancho Santa Fe.
